Funny thing about winter is that the roads get kinda slippery

ha ha i now the problem with the winter, last week i went for a spin,there was a lot of snow...so i went crazy of driving sideways and then BOOOM i crashed in a sidewalk.... Prize to pey dor 2 min of fun ( 2 broken 17 inch rims,right arm on the wheal and the bearing wrom the wheal.... soooo next time i will walk:D

did you wreck it?

No i was lucky. Just some small dents on the driver side.

I know, Cicero. Im gonna start walking too

Well, you'r not the only norwegian that is having problems with the snow. Though I've had alot of fun with my Celi on snow, I also had one minor incident... Some cracks on my back bumper.
I can recognize my car in yours kinda, I also have a 96 Silver Celi, with the same lowering as you got I think, atleast the same height. And some stereo mods
I love the way you've made your subs, looks so clean. What I did to mine was to build the amps where the spare tire used to be, and I'm currently saving to build a new case for my 12" sub, the one I have now is taking my whole trunk There are some pics of my celi in Ana's thread. Should get a nice norwegian 6gc meet someday summertime!

Do you have a picture of how it looks?

Yes we really should Bakkmagedon and Haugbjorg live in the same area as I do and we have talked about maybe having a 6gc meet

Got a pic here:


Have done lots since i took this pic though, and its getting some new shoes as soon as the snow smelts away. Also gonna give it a good sound deadning such as Anaxyd did, can't stand the rattling that you get on the Norwegian roads...

I know there are 1 more at my school owning a ST, but haven't gotten a hold of him yet, and his looks kinda stock so far, so I have no idea if he shares the same passion for our cars such as we do

I could need a sound deadning too

introduce him to 6gc and he will be hooked

Hey!

How much have you guys lowered? Have you just bought some springs, or both dampeners and springs?


I am planning to lower this spring, so I need to do the research!

Mine Atm got original SS-III lowering from toyota which is 20 in the front and i think either 20 or 25 at the back( gonna check it, either that or mine got alot heavier at the back with the big stereo )
and I recently passed the EU test with it no probs. It rides well too. I got some 40mm springs under my bed thats coming on after the snow melts away i think, and gotta see how low it gets with the skirts + splitters. But 20mm fits nice aswell, and i have absolutely no problems now with the snow and stuff. I can give you some feedback if I ever get to fitting the 40mm springs.

Sounds really good! As far as I know, ST's are not made originally with the Superstrut suspension, so you have converted?

Feedback would be great!

Well i havent really converted, the toyota store down here got hand of some Toyota Team Europe(toyota motorsport) struts. They come in 2 versions, one for our 7AFE and one for the 3SGE engine. not 3SGTE. They came with full TÜV papers and everything. But it was the previous owner of my car that got a hand of these. He lived close to Sarpsborg.

Hm, so this fits the stock suspension of the AT200(7A-FE) ? Maybe it is something for me.

Would quess so, it's not that low, so that our cars can survive on the norwegian roads. But with big enough tires it would look a bit flush. Mine actually looks better with my winter tires, they are a bit wider and taller, gonna get me some 18" and 215 tires when that snow melts. How is driving yours with the 18"'s? stiff?

And yeah, it fits the stock suspension on The AT200, no probs. As I said, i recently had this lowering cleared with BT, and they had nothing to comment on. Really wanna see and listen to your stereo one day Closely following your worklog on Diskusjon Keep it up, really need a warm garage myself, so many things i wanna get done. Atm im sitting out cold grinding on my side skirts prepping them for paint

Mine is lowered 40/40. Only changed the springs

Finally..



..winters over




Now i just have to fix the dents and the rust


Im thinking about painting the rims black. What do you guys think?

Wow, how did that dent happen? Wasn't there in the fall.

And I'm actually toying with that idea myself. Problem is, our silver is the only color that matches aluminum wheels and that's pretty nice, so I'm not sure if I want to change up...but go for it, I'd like to see how it looks.

Had a little winter accident. There is a picture of it in this thread.

Think Im gonna give it a try

I really like this car! I'm over the whole bodykit thing, so simplicity and clean = the win!

Cal.

I lifted up the car to check if there was any rust. No rust, but I got carried away and this is how it ended






Trying to get rid of some road noise

Also installed a new antenna
